Hi @Anonymous,

 

You can try to use date column on axis with hierarchy mode and keep 'year, month' level fields. Then expand each hierarchy level records and you will see you wanted.

I mananged to clean up the null values from Excel (I needed to Edit the Data Source when i loaded it to figure it out) but now im stuck with the "The date column can't have gaps in dates" message when trying to Mark the table as dates.

Any idea why because as far as i can tell, i don't have a gap

I fixed it in Excel then hit Refresh but i still get an error about the gap
